Re: What is your Runners High?

Nothing is better than the meditation I get when I go for a long run on deep woods trails...the silence provides something roads never can.

To really enjoy running a marathon you need to be running at least 45 a week before it (cutting down some right before obviously...). Its easy to finish one running less, but to really run one that is what I have heard is necessary...

The longest one ever chased me was about .5 miles...it wasn't really to angry though. The meanest one was one in Costa Rica that started biting at me shoes! I love dogs, but that one deserved the kick it got.

How would Neil Armstrong felt if he'd only gone 3/4 the way to the moon? If Berry Bonds had only used 75% of the drugs he was given? If Wayne Gretzsky had only taken 3/4 of his shots? It just wouldn't be the same...run a full one.

Pool Workouts

hey so I am one of those runners who gets injured at least once a year (normally 2 haha) and when that happens I'm of course forced into the pool...our coach has some sicknasty pool workouts, but they get old so I was wondering what other people do as injured workouts...

Re: 3:40 mile training?

Well here is your problem...Hicham ran a full mile...all you are probably running (all highschool ever does) is the 1600...the 16 is REFERED to as the mile, but the actual MILE is 1623...adds on a couple seconds just so you know...ANYWAY...

Drills...I was one of the fastest kids on my HS team, but during 200 workouts would get beat by freshmen...started doing drills and my leg speed caught up with my endurance...it is the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to improve your turnover.

Ya the worst ones are the little bastards...if you stop and just yell they usually run away...I ran into one this summer though that wouldn't stop so I had to just kick him right as he was biting (felt terrible, but I was in Costa Rica and if he had drawn blood he would have to be put down so it was for his own good...)
